[Completed] issue with background running app (emui)

looking for help on a certain issue. Related to the following 2 apps:
1) one weather
2) applock
I have one of the widgets my homescreen which displays the weather & the time. On my op3 (and other non huawei/honor devices i've owned) it works fine & the time is always accurate but on my huawei (p9) and honor 7 the time seems to stop keeping track.
i think it must be something to do with what apps are left running when the screen i switched off & the interference with emui.
internet is not required to be on for the time to display correctly a on my op3 it keeps telling the right time even if wifi and data are off but on the huawei/honor devices it only keeps up to date with the time when the screen is off if data/wifi is enabled.
- I have done the following in settings:
advanced > battery manager > protected apps (allow apps to keep running after the screen is turned off) > i have enabled 1 weather so it is allowed to keep running
- auto closing of power intensive apps is disabled
settings > apps > advanced > ignore optimizations > 1 weather is allowed
I can't see any other options from the settings menu that that wold be having an effect.
The fact it runs fine on my op3 (and other android devices) implies it must be sth to do with huawei/honor optimization or doze feature
second app (smart app lock) is a similar issue. it seems to auto disable itself but irregularly. sometimes its when I close all apps (which i tend to do each time i switch off the screen) other times do that & it's fine but when i switch off screen then switch back on again its disabled.
again I dont have the issue with the same app on my op3 so it must be to do with huawei/honor or emui
fyi i previously had a p8 lite and had the exact same issue with the same 2 apps.
anyone any suggestions?

Google assistant reminders don't work.

I have a OP7 with unlocked bootloader, magisk, build 10.3.0.GM57AA.
I heavily use the google assistant reminders, but I can't get them to work on the OP7. Reminders notifications come several minutes/hours after the programmed time. I had no problem with my previous phones, one of which I still use and it never misses a reminder notification (thus confirming that is not a problem of the Google app, but of the OP7 software). I tried different solutions:
- Disable adaptive battery and all other battery-related optimizations. Didn't work.
- Uninstall the system app Google and reinstall it as a user app. This, for whatever reason, breaks the ''OK google'' voice recognition so is not a viable solution.
- Modify the magisk module ''OxygenOS gmail battery fix'' from David Sn, to work with the Google app instead of the Gmail App. I can confirm that the Google package (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox) is correctly whitelisted from Doze after installing the module (I checked with the command ''dumpsys deviceidle" with a terminal emulator). This way the reminders notifications come immediately after I unlock the screen, but they still don't work when the screen is off.
- Manually add com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox to the .xml files that control the Doze whitelisted apps (/system/etc/sysconfig and /system/product/etc/sysconfig). Didn't work.
- Use the Nova Launcher activity trick to make system apps appear in the ''Battery optimization'' menu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79613520&postcount=8) but it didn't worked (I can't get system apps to show in that menu). [Side note: why the hell Oneplus decided to hide system apps in the battery optimization menu????????]
The only way I managed to get the reminders notifications when the phone is idle is to completely disable Doze with "dumpsys deviceidle disable" command. This way all the notifications work perfectly but obviously there is an abnormal battery drain when the phone is idle. I'm about to give up and switch to another reminder app or to a custom rom, but this piss me off because this is theoretically a top-range smartphone and it is ridiculos that such a basic function don't work, especially considering that this is an almost stock software and that this issue was reported a long time ago on the Oneplus Community forum by multiple users.
Please if you have any advice/solution share it with me.

GSpace high battery consumption

Hi group!
I use stock ROM (EMUI 11 - 11.0.0.230) with GSpace for Gapps.
The thing is it keeps the device awake, according to the Gsam app.
Specifically, the *location* wakelock has the maximum time of keeping the system awake.
I have to manually kill the GSpace app after every Gapp I use, but this is kind of inconvenient.
I suspect Google Maps is the root app behind this (thus the location wakelock), but just killing it alone doesn't seem to do the job.
Googling about this didn't help, so I decided to post!
Any ideas/clues?

On settings - battery - app launch - automatic management, find the apps you want to kill, turn them on, turn them off - here turn off all 3 options.
You can also use (I use them too) Fast reboot and phone optimisation widget.

Thanks a lot, I'll try it myself and edit OP.

Some of those apks on the block list just sit there and do nothing unless needed.
You need to know what you're blocking and if it really needs/should to blocked.
Dependencies, dependencies, dependencies, the app names and functions can be deceiving.
Samsung's have so many features you may never realize what you lost and for little or no gain.
The Google system and user apps are some of the worst offenders.

1- I have been uninstalling apps over adb for a long time now, and from a functionality standpoint, they don't interfere with the user experience, but on the contrary, uninstalling them improves the experience.
2- There are no apps that "just sit there", they all will consume power and resources on the background, only noticeable on the long run.
3- This is an extensive, maxed out and extreme list of bloatware, you can of course choose to skip some of those apps if you need them, your use case may be different then mine.

Many of those never load unless called upon.
You can see what's loading Device Care>memory or Developer options>running apps, cache apps.
Example; Bixby Vision and Bixby Framework.
The other Bixby crapware is disabled on my N10+'s. Those former two are not, and not loaded in the system cache or running. No need to block them. Karma Firewall also verifies no internet activity for them.

You're right, accessibility settings work now with samsung keyboard disabled but still installed. thanks, i'll move it to the "to disable" list.

Could you provide info of each app, so we know what are we going to delete \ disable?

You can use This app to check for package names, also, you can reinstall/download deleted apps using AppControl if you can't find them after debloating

Thank you for this - just tried this list, let's see how the battery life behaves now...

Akp Export shows the same but many of the Samsung system apks are anyone's guess. Android 10 (vs my older N10+ running on 9) on my new N10+ has dozens of new apks like this. Most of those shouldn't be touched as they are why the two N10+'s look and function almost identically. PD also list proper app names; it also has a direct browser search for each apk to try and see what its function is.
My Package Disabler list was imported from the older Note to the new one almost unchanged.
Surprisingly the optimization for the Android 10 variant was almost identical to the 9 variant, it was a snap. It took about 5 minutes to setup the PD app on the new phone, plug & play, and the user license (up to 3 devices) enabled seamlessly. One of the reasons I use it.
Makes factory resets easier too. It's nice to use a PD because you can troubleshoot with it, kill user installed apps that you occasionally use but don't want always running and you can easily test unknown or known apks to see what they do. I use the PD app daily for one thing or another. My favorite paid for app. If I lost it I be doing the abd edit thing.

@H-banGG So, after running suggested ones from the first post, Lloyds Banking app stopped working (app launch failed).
Any of the services can be causing this (security, Banking, authentication)?

Hi, thank you for notifying the error. I don't use banking apps on my phone so i never had to face this issue, but i'd suggest first to restore all KNOX apps using ADB AppControl, restarting and trying again. Please, report back after.

Actually, kept Knox dead and just reinstalled the app itself. Works fine so far...
It probably restored whatever it needed during reinstall

Another curiousity.
Before "deep sleeping apps" - I could add apps to be put to deep sleep. No when I press + - there are none at all to choose there.
Is this because of suspend execution of cashed apps setting?

So, any ideas why it is not possible to put apps to deep sleep after making these changes?
In battery stats some apps have "background" activity and I'd rather they didn't . Used to work yesterday.

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.
The "cached apps" setting in de options isn't actually the problem, there surely is a service that manages these sleeping apps that has been disabled, i'll dig deeper into that.

What kind of battery improvement/screen on time can we expect from these optimizations? I'm currently getting 6-8h of screen time or 40~ hours of standby with 4~ hours of screentime.

All kinds actually, from smoother phone to longer battery life.

I wouldn't follow this guide, especially since it recommends malware (ccleaner hasn't been good for a looooong time).
There's also no need for draining your battery until the phone turns off multiple times to "calibrate" it, and disabling stuff that many people find useful (like location for Maps)... going through ADB to turn off settings available through the UI is also strange... Seems like snake oil.

Agreed. CCleaner is garbage malware and most of the tips cripple your device's capabilities. One example from the rec'd settings... Turn off WiFi/Bluetooth scanning/GPS. Sure you'll save battery.. at the expense of losing location results. Also many apps require GPS permissions so this suggestion isn't even really practical.
Battery Calibration Pro? Hasn't been updated since 2017. If you want to know what's going on with your battery get a relevant app like Ampere. And why do we even need to "calibrate" our batteries?
And many of the apps listed in PixelSafe.txt marked as "bloatware" are definitely not safe to uninstall..
com.android.omadm.service
com.google.android.ims
com.google.android.carrier
Good luck using your phone without these.
And if AppControl OP is suggesting to use to uninstall the listed apps is doing so by modifying system partition say goodbye to passing safetynet.

Ive had omadm disabled for over 2 months with zero issues
OMA DM server development cooperation in the air, mobile phones and wireless devices to provide remote configuration, configure and update device management (DM) client enables operators and handset manufacturers outbreak system dependencies between DM tight.
if you can explain exactly why something should not be disabled and why it will cause a bootloop or failure to boot great.
if you are just blowing smoke out your ass because you think your phone should wipe your ass for you and everyone else.
then go away you are not helping the discussion.
i also dont think any non opensource app should be used as snake oil to fix issues unless we know exactly how it works.
people should always do their own research on everything, XDA is not for sheep following a guide word for word because they don't understand why things work or don't work

100% do not use anything suggested here lol

PLEASE, READ OP CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENTING. THANK YOU​- CCleaner does the job, also, uninstalling it right after you're done using it is a key step.
- Doesn't matter when has it been updated, it does the job.
- I actually have a pixel 6, and those apps listed are ALREADY UNINSTALLED for me, and i'm running fine as you can see .
- Bootloader locked, no root, and you're worried about system partitions ? And safetynet too ?
- OMADM was shipped disabled for me, i never needed to take it out.
- Literally NO ONE forced you to do what i said, all of those are suggestions, feel free to do, or not do them.
- You don't like my suggestions ? Skip them, go away, don't come posting nonsense, please, i want to keep my thread clean of bull****.
- 100% nobody asked your opinion.

Im going to call bull**** on you here
Ive had omadm disabled for over 2 months with zero issues
OMA DM server development cooperation in the air, mobile phones and wireless devices to provide remote configuration, configure and update device management (DM) client enables operators and handset manufacturers outbreak system dependencies between DM tight.
if you can explain exactly why something should not be disabled and why it will cause a bootloop or failure to boot great.
if you are just blowing smoke out your ass because you think your phone should wipe your ass for you and everyone else.
then go away you are not helping the discussion.
i also dont think any non opensource app should be used as snake oil to fix issues unless we know exactly how it works.
people should always do their own research on everything, XDA is not for sheep following a guide word for word because they don't understand why things work or don't work

As i already stated in the past post, those apps are already uninstalled on my phone and i don't have any problem. Everything is working as intended, but with less heat, faster charging and better battery life

OMA DM and it's associated apps are frozen out of the box (for my carrier anyway). Can't speak for all carriers.
Lol I just copy/pasted from where I saw in the txt to uninstall com.google.android.ims and
com.google.android.carrier.. my bad if I included one that can be removed "safely".
Though how would it be beneficial to battery life to remove a frozen system app?
You missed my point. There are apps in the txt that should never be removed or even be suggested to be removed because without them, you no longer have a phone.
This entire battery optimization guide is full of bad advice at best and changes that will break your phone. What's the point of having a phone with amazing battering life but no functionality?
Don't believe me than go ahead and disable/remove com.google.android.ims and the other ims services. See how well sms/mms/telephony work through an IP network.

Literally NO ONE forced you to do what i said, all of those are suggestions, feel free to do, or not do them. You don't like my suggestions ? Skip them, go away, don't come posting nonsense, please, i want to keep my thread clean of bull****.

XDA is a community with lots of people who don't have in-depth knowledge of Android. Some people may not know better.
So as a community, we also want to stop the spread of bad information. You can't post a guide for better battery life and then say "but no one look into them or question them they work 100%". That's not how things work.
And with that not wasting more time on this thread. Best of luck!

To everyone coming here, please, if you don't have serious issues with your battery, never ever drain it to 0. And over all, never ever try to start a phone with a 0% battery.
A battery is always better at 40-60%, not more, not less (you can find a lot of battery care articles on the web explaining why).
This calibration method is probably a way to solve a problem after flashing your phone with a custom ROM and after that, you see wrong battery percentage (like if your phone switch off before 3% remaining).
But please note that draining your battery to 0 will decrease its capacity permanently (and it can be by a huge amount if you insist to much). Also charging it to 100% everyday can decrease your battery life faster.
In an everyday use of your phone, it's better by a huge amount to charge your phone as often as you can and unplug it around 60-80%. You will see a difference after years.
Do you know why a new phone is around 50-60% battery when you buy it and switch it on for the first time ? Now you know

The OP isn't going to love me at all. I just know I'm going to get a "nobody asked for your opinion" comment from him. He's right, nobody did ask my opinion, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to give it anyway. So, while I thank the OP for his enthusiasm and his attempts to provide something useful for Pixel 6 owners, I strongly advise caution in following these tweaks.
Out of the OP's list, the only things I could agree with would as follows: advertising ID, always on display, system dark mode, animation scale, and systemwide removal of ads. That last one however, I use Blokada for as I feel it's more effective.
OP should explain his reasoning behind each and every one of these changes in this list, so the people he is trying to help can understand his reasoning here. I've been mucking around the guts of Android devices since Android 2.1 and even I would like to know why he chose these things. I'd like to know because most of them seem to cripple the functions of the unit, i.e. negatively impact the Google experience. For example, gestures - gesture navigation - he says to disable. Why?
Some of these tweaks have little to no effect, could actually do more harm than good, or have better options available.
Battery Calibration - Totally unnecessary and only serves to waste battery charge cycles, which you do NOT want to do with a battery trapped in an aluminum frame between two slabs of glass. Battery calibration apps are unnecessary as the only thing they do is delete batterystats.bin, which Android automatically does upon removing the unit from a charger. This has been a known fact since around 2012.
Apps lag using CCleaner - Ignoring CCleaner's reputation since its purchase by Avast, lag from apps on a Pixel 6 is debatable. In any event, SDMaid I feel is a better option than CCleaner, especially as it functions quite nicely for debloating.
Fix OLED Burn-in/Ghosting - The disable gestures tweak could accelerate burn-in along the bottom of the display as the device would have to revert to the 3-dot navigation option. Any burn-in the screen does acquire would have to be rather light in order for an app to fix it, but so long as the wear is light an app will work. I have seen some very extreme examples of burn-in on an OLED screen, and no app would help those.
And then there is the bloatware section. Why in the hell is it that everyone and their mother still recommends deleting apps from the system partition instead of disabling them? Seriously, in the early days of Android it made sense. Now, it's only a waste of time, especially on a device whose system partitions are set to read-only in the first place. Using SDMaid or Titanium Backup and freezing, i.e. disabling, apps is far less likely to cause problems. If I recall correctly, the freezing function does not require root access to work.
My thoughts...take them as you will. Most of this stuff I won't bother with, and the things I do bother with I've already done.

I use the following :
Nova launcher pro
Appdash pro
SD Maid pro
Adaway
Modules - systemless and safety net V2.

Updated Google Pixel debloat list:​- Added overlays

i smell snake oil.
